Hoosier Love
MU330 Lyrics

The lyrics of MU330's song "Hoosier Love" portray the singers as rebellious teenagers from South Side City who don't conform to the norms of high school and have an undying love for each other that's rooted in their humble, working-class origins. The first two lines depict them driving in a Chevrolet El Camino pick-up truck while listening to Motley Crue and holding hands. The next lines rebel against the education system, suggesting that they believe they are too cool for school, and will be parents by the age of seventeen, indulging in sexual activities at local fast-food chain Dairy Queen.

The chorus "Hoosier love, Hoosier love, South Side City hoosier love" repeats after each verse, reiterating that their love is quintessentially Hoosier—a popular term for someone from Indiana. The lyrics "I find it hard to rise above the frame, white trash crime" highlight the stigma and discrimination they may face as white people who aren't as fortunate as the wealthy elite. Despite this, they embrace their social class by daubing their hair in motor oil and drinking beer while playing bass while hanging out with what seems like a group of female friends.

However, the song's last set of lines become somewhat darker and angrier than the previous ones. The singer recalls a time when they rode rides at school fairs and got drunk, resulting in him slapping his partner around. In response, she tells him not to come around anymore. The song ends with the chorus repeatedly being sung, depicting their love, but also hinting at the cyclical nature of their frustration and the harmful behaviors the couple resorts to because of it. It can be said that the song represents an empathetic look at small-town America by presenting their epitome of love and sociocultural reality within the stereotypes that define them.
